Well your manager may be a moron, but I'm not sure "all the guys that like perl a lot say that it is better." will be very convincing....

Maybe it would be convincing to post to a shell scripting group so you can say. "The guys on the shell group say if you ***must*** pick one, perl is better."

It sounds kinda empirical to say stuff like:

CPAN has __ hundred thousand modules and libraries, all with search able on line, documentation and the biggest shell script repository has ___ hundred scripts.

Perl is more secure it has sandboxes like java and taint mode, and only interpolates once.

There are ____ books on perl at O'Relly and ___ books on shell

It takes ___ human (manager) readable lines of perl to do task ____ x and ____ lines of funky shell to do the same task

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
